Sami Khedira has hinted his future lies at Real Madrid and he is ready to fight for his place in the team.
The German World Cup winner has had a frustrating first half to the campaign, featuring just four times for Los Blancos due to a combination of injury and falling behind Toni Kroos and Asier Illarramendi in the pecking order.
Khedira has just six months left on his current deal at the 10-time Champions League winners, and has long been linked with a move away from the club. From January 1, he is able to discuss with clubs abroad about a potential free transfer at the end of the campaign. A number of top clubs across Europe have been linked with the 27-year-old, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and AC Milan.
But in quotes published by FourFourTwo, the midfielder said he thrives on competition and is ready to fight for his place in the team in the Spanish capital.
“I am back at a good physical level and for that reason, I’m confident that soon I will get more of a chance to play,” he said.
And he added: “There are other players in my position but that competition is healthy. I’m a fan of fierce competition.”
